Plex TV Misidentifying episodes

Server Version#: 4.69.0
I am adding Homeland to my plex server, but it keeps identifying a small handful of episodes as duplicates from episodes of different seasons. I’ve included a screenshot of the problem. I’m following the naming guide, except that I don’t have episode names in the filenames. What’s odd is that Plex is picking episode 10 from 2 different seasons and merging them as one title. Is there a good solution for this?

  1. make sure that exactly the folder /TV is added to the Plex library. Not one folder above or below that level.
  2. Always write the season number in 2-digit format (i.e. with a leading zero) – unless it is actually a year number.
  3. disable the check box “prefer local meta data” in the properties of your Plex library
  4. perform the Plex dance with all intermixed files or the show as a whole.
